Dont think being quick is a requirement for that type of player. Alonso might have been amongst the slowest players we've had, but also amongst the best. And look at Sahin under Klopp.

One of the 2-3 best midfielders in the world. So a giant blow for City that. However they have the two Silvas aswell.

If anything a CB or a CM. Hoping Gomez will make the position his own now though. Still would love us to sign Neves. Tho i doubt January would be likely for that.

Only remember Brandt being talked about after Coutinho went.

Salah certainly seemed like he was our first choice, did he not? Alternative was Costa wasnt it?

Dull game for sure. But if any of you think Switzerland or Sweden would have been walk over's for either England or Colombia you are mad. In 26 games or so this was Switzerlands second loss in something like 25-26 games. Only previous loss Portugal away. Sweden knocked out Holland in the qualifying group and Italy in a 2 leg knock out. I agree neither side should be in a quarter final of the WC, but its upsets like this which is part of the fun i reckon.

I think he would start plenty of games for us. Having 5 players to rotate between 3 or 4 (depending on how we set up) positions is not a lot. He probably look at us and think fuck, thats the kind of football i want to play. Looks to be a perfect fit i would say.

Salah looking a bit frustrating his team mates cant get the ball to him.

Or is it because Real and Barca cant afford these crazy prices. Barca likely being in the hole from Coutinho and Dembele still. And Real going for Neymar... Wouldnt surprise me in the slightest to see Mourinho splashing something ridiculous on Griezmann.

Well if something showed up on the medical it could potentially change the whole deal. Insuring players cost a lot of money, insuring someone with a suspect knee issue will cost a hell of a lot more. Especially if he cost 60 mill and earns around 90k per week...

Kovacic

Just about 29 years too late. But more deserved than anyone else i can remember.

For 12m its a no brainer. He is quality and been wasted at Stoke. would have liked him before he signed for Bayern and no less now.

He is a quality player, hope its true.

Think these concussion articles are coming from Karius end, trying to save his career. Seems to me Klopp gave him the rest of the season to prove himself, and he proved himself not to be up to it. We will sign a new goalkeeper or ill be extremely surprised. Klopp isnt orthodox, but he is pragmatic.

Fuck off with Butland. Lunacy to sign if we can get Oblak or Allison.

Im not all that clued in on our books. But the TV money, Coutinho sale. CL run and CL secured for next season. We should be absolutely minted. If Barcelona are going for Griezmann then selling Dembele makes a little bit more sense.

Well you be quiet. I want us to sign Dembele. Dont shoot it down.

Dembele would be incredible. That front 4

Had we won the final he would have been sacked. Good move from him. I cant help thinking that sort of side is a self playing piano, unless you stifle them, so remains to be seen what Zidane has as a manager in my book. Best player i ever watched live though.

Who will Bayern target? Werner?

I would have imagined Juventus being all over Martial they always seem to pull off bargains. Good signing for Spurs if they manage it. Improvement on that diving cunt Lamela. Anyway, we shouldnt sign him cause we cant. Utd wont deal with us. As for central midfield, i would still want us to sign someone like Neves, or no, i want us to sign Neves.

Damn thats out of the blue. Has there been a single link outside of today? I really wanted us to get a Nevestype player. Hope its not out of the question.

If he can cut out his howlers he is really good. Like night and day since Big Virgil joined i reckon.

Thats a bargain considering the market. What would De Gea go for if Real bought him? Nothing under 100m i would imagine.
